Last week we praised Connecticut for their first Dog House Party, a spring practice in which the Huskies invited the student body to attend, and then served them pizza afterward, so it's only right that we praise Ohio State for the same thing.
Ohio State treated Buckeyes students to field-level seats...
a tour of the facilities....
A fastest student race...
And pictures with the big man.
But this photo really captured my attention...
There's just so much going on here.
1. Obviously, Brutus steals the show here. Good for him. He deserves a moment to shine after a rough spring in 2013.
2. There are hundreds of students watching, but no one's more into the kick than the Ohio State players.
3. The female student-turned-kicker Urban's daughter Nicki (see update below) was able to get her kick past Brutus' outstretched arms. We have no idea on the distance here, but it looks like this thing has a chance.
4. Both lines were told to take it easy, and No. 41 in scarlet took that order very seriously.
5. I love the coach in gray to the right of the kicker, coaching the kick like a trip to the Rose Bowl is on the line.
For my money, this is the best photo of college football's young 2014 season.
